A few weeks ago I had a really hectic few days during which my view of current technology got flipped completely upside down. I attended a number of events such as VR in a Bar, the Dandy Lab shop launch and the Interlaced fashion technology show which really opened my eyes to diversity in tech and the things being done behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

VR IN A BAR<\/h2>\n

VR in a Bar is a virtual reality event organised by Virtual Umbrella<\/a><\/strong> (a VR marketing agency) which aims to bring together developers, content creators and VR enthusiasts alike in a gaming bar<\/a> in north London.<\/p>\n

Companies such as Visualise<\/a>, VRgo Chair<\/a>, HTC Vive obsessed Psytec Games<\/a> and VR Craftwork <\/a>were present with their latest creations and safe to say they exceeded everyone\u2019s expectations. VR has the potential to disrupt a number of key industries from gaming to entertainment to travel so I was very privileged to get my hands on some\u00a0early tech demos.<\/p>\n

The ability to take the user directly into an experience such as a Kasabian Concert (Visualise<\/a>) or a scene from Ex Machina (NBC Universal<\/a>) is going to be groundbreaking and I urge everyone to follow the goings on in this hectic yet exciting industry.<\/p>\n

VISUALISE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Visualise impressed me with their 360\u00ba VR Kasabian concert which was recorded at the 02 Academy in Brixton and gave me a chance to get\u00a0on stage<\/a> with one of my favourite UK bands<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

PRETENDER MOTION<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Pretender Motion\u2019s output wearable glove allowed my arm to be controlled by someone else through electrical impulses. Check out the video below for a better idea and my initial reaction<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Mike from NBC Universal showed me a glimpse of future entertainment by taking me directly into a scene from Ex Machina. Additional experiences for films such as Back to the Future are already in development,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

VRGO CHAIR<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The VRGo chair allowed me to explore a completely new building without using a controller to move. The possibilities this opens up for architects and estate agents are simply ridiculous<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
